The Hive

When an alien hive lands in Spotsylvania County, VA, Amanda Jett and her daddy are thrust into a nightmare landscape filled with body snatchers, brain-cracking fungi, crypto-monsters, melonhead children, mad scientists, and the tentacle-wielding Hive itself. The Jetts have their own allies to help them, though, including Dr. Huntington, a brilliant inventor with the tools and technology they need to fight back, and the mysterious Girl, whose powers may be what they require to defeat the invaders.

My name is Amanda. Amanda May Jett. My daddy and I live in Spotsylvania County, VA, where we enjoy the fresh air and a healthy farmer's lifestyle. At least until an alien hive crashes to earth and kills our neighbors. Now it's up to us to stop the invaders and save the world, no matter how many tentacles, body-snatchers, and brain-cracking fungi they send our way.

Hey, y’all. It’s Amanda again. Amanda May Jett. Now that the Hives are all gone and the Macks are burned to ashes, I thought that maybe life would have gotten a little easier out here on the farm. But the next few months brings its own set of problems, including blizzards, banshees, and rolling balls of death. Not to mention the appearance of Otis and Annie O and their humdinger of a boss, Hangnail. Fall was bad enough, but it’s going to be a beast of a winter.

Winter was worse than I could have ever imagined. I lost my home and my friends and everything I ever knew. Good thing Timmy Carter’s still around. At least for now. But spring comes with its own set of horrors, including crypto-monsters, melonhead kids, mad scientists, and at long last, the return of the Hive. I’m going to need a lot of allies if I’m going to make it through alive.

It’s been almost a year since the Hive landed. Billions are dead. Mothers. Fathers. Children. The aliens, with their spikey balls, their Macks, their crazy monsters, seem to be unstoppable. Until now. Between me, the Girl, and Dr. H’s brilliant inventions, we’re going to put a stop to the Hive once and for all.
